PuRP No. 5 Colton Welker is off to a hot start to 2018 with the Lancaster JetHawks, the Class-A Advanced affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. Through his first 85 plate appearances, Welker is producing a .313/.435/.552 slash line, with four home runs and an impressive 17.6% walk rate. With a primary position of third base, Welker may look to add on some defensive versatility, as the Rockies have Nolan Arenado entrenched at the position at the MLB level.
